Welcome to The Passenger Collection , Founded in 2011 by Valeria Likhova, The Passenger Collection began as a creative pursuit born from years in the fashion world, shaped by global travel and an eye attuned to elegance. What started as an exploration of beauty and craft has evolved into a forward-looking platform dedicated to art investment, cultural stewardship, and the creation of immersive art experiences.
A Life in Art & Collecting
Valeria’s journey into the art world is both personal and professional. A collector at heart, she cultivated her expertise through the study of Art History and Fine Art Law, building a foundation that blends scholarly rigor with market insight. In New York, she cut her teeth insuring private collections, an experience that sharpened her understanding of both the tangible and intangible values that define great works of art. This early immersion in the mechanics of preservation and investment laid the groundwork for her philosophy: that art must be cherished as both cultural heritage and enduring asset.
The New Era: Sculpture as Legacy
Today, The Passenger Collection embarks on its most ambitious chapter yet: the creation of an open-air sculpture museum. Conceived as a cultural landmark, the museum will offer more than a gallery without walls—it will be a living testament to art’s power to inspire, endure, and appreciate in value. Sculpture, experienced in the open air, becomes both a public encounter with beauty and a private investment in legacy.
The Passenger Vision
The Passenger Collection leads in fine art finance, offering discreet advisory, insurance, corporate strategy, and bespoke lending to grow and safeguard collections. Through exclusive memberships, we merge art, travel, and investment into transformative global experiences. Our vision culminates with The Passenger Foundation, an open-air sculpture museum establishing a lasting cultural landmark.
Looking Ahead
As The Passenger Collection expands into this new era, Valeria extends an invitation to collectors, investors, and patrons of culture. Together, we will not only experience art but also safeguard its value, ensure its continuity, and create a legacy that transcends generations.
